@Njord I am tired of people talking about voting as if it's something candidates deserve. I've rarely vote for a candidate I was entirely thrilled with. Mature adults realize a vote isn't an endorsement of the individual but a selection of the better direction for the nation. When choosing between Trump and Biden, there is NO QUESTION Biden deserves the vote. You aren't choosing a life partner--you're choosing between cancer or chemo, and we should be happy chemo is our alternative.

@ShredderFeeder Speaking as somebody who did that, the number of thousands of dollars it costs to install a decent charger in your garage is "0.7" and it pays for itself in a few weeks.

Fast food got to where it is by being significantly cheaper than everyone else.

Now that fast food costs about the same as fast-casual, why would I pay the same money for less-healthy, worse-tasting food?

I can go to the deli counter at my grocer and get a cheaper, healthier, tastier meal than fast food offers.

Jack Smith Invites Aileen Cannon to Protect the Country Rather than Just Donald Trump - emptywheel

It's not just that Jack Smith asked Aileen Cannon to order Trump to stop lying about being targeted for assassination, it's that he asked in a way that makes her bias clear.

A reminder that less than two weeks ago, it was revealed that Trump solicited a $1 billion bribe from the energy industry, offering in return the gutting of environmental regulations.

A week ago, Big Journalism had already consigned this epic scandal to the memory bin.

Had Biden done anything remotely like that, I guarantee that it would still be among the top stories of the day -- and Congress, including Democrats, would be moving toward impeachment.

"Surprisingly, our results show that women's contributions tend to be accepted more often than men's. However, when a woman's gender is identifiable, they are rejected more often. Our results suggest that although women on GitHub may be more competent overall, bias against them exists nonetheless."

@noyes please read past the headline. the CDC didn't rescind the program just to be petty — instead, the House revoked its funding. cynically snapping at the administration without questioning what happened, plays right into the fascists' hands.
